Lions OC Scott Linehan conceded that it will be difficult to find playing time for Kevin Smith following Mikel Leshoure's Week 3 breakout performance.
"It's really hard," Linehan said. "The game plan is going to be the factor for him. If we're using single-back looks on a number of occasions, there's only going to be one in there." Barring injury, Smith will be limited to a change-of-pace role going forward. He's nothing more than an end-of-the-roster stash in fantasy leagues.
Very bad move by the Lions in the long-term ..no, make it the short-term...to basically give up on Kevin Smith, who has been very effective when he is healthy..
Leshoure's "debut" took more than a full season to materialize. I suspect he could very well be like Felix Jones of Dallas: made of glass and a perennial injury risk throughout what actually lasts of his "career."
Also, last I checked, nobody was shaking in their cleats because of the Titans' defense.
